BrikPanel — WooCommerce Dashboard, Sales Report, Google Sheets Sync, Inventory Management & Bulk Editor

BrikPanel turns the default WooCommerce admin panel into a clean, fast, all-in-one cockpit — a modern WooCommerce dashboard, a powerful WooCommerce bulk editor, an inventory management workspace, an order management center, a coupon manager, a custom WP login page, and a real-time conversion tracking suite. Everything is free. Forever. No premium tier, no feature locks, no monthly subscriptions. A self-hosted Shopify alternative for WooCommerce — own your data, your products, and your customer list, with no monthly platform fee and no transaction fee.

Built by a developer who shipped 1000+ WooCommerce stores and got tired of every workflow taking five extra clicks.

Who is BrikPanel for?

• Stores that want a lighter woocommerce inventory management workspace built into a complete admin redesign

• Agencies handing off stores to non-technical clients who need a simplified WooCommerce admin
• Shop owners migrating from Shopify who want a familiar, modern admin for their WooCommerce store — a free, self-hosted Shopify alternative

What you get (all free)

Modern WooCommerce Dashboard with Real-Time Sales Analytics

The heart of BrikPanel is a modern WooCommerce dashboard — a true woocommerce admin panel plugin, not a styling layer.

• Total Sales, Total Orders, Average Order Value (AOV) — today, yesterday, last 7/30 days, or any custom range, with ±% period-over-period delta on every metric
• Visitors counted from your own database (admins excluded), and Conversion Rate computed live from real visitors and real orders
• Beautiful sales chart powered by Chart.js, plus an order status donut (Completed, Processing, Cancelled, Refunded, Failed)
• WooCommerce conversion funnel — Visitors → Add to Cart → Checkout → Orders, with the conversion percentage at every step

This is the best WooCommerce dashboard and a complete WooCommerce sales report for stores that need a modern WooCommerce admin and a woocommerce custom dashboard without paying for a SaaS.

Customer Analytics — LTV, RFM Segmentation & Cohort Retention

BrikPanel ships a complete WooCommerce customer analytics suite, calculated from your store data and visualized in the dashboard — no external service.

• Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) — total customers, average and top LTV, full LTV distribution histogram, and a sortable top-customers table
• RFM segmentation — every customer scored on Recency, Frequency, and Monetary, then bucketed into Champions, Loyal, At Risk, About to Sleep, Hibernating, and Lost, with revenue per segment
• Cohort retention — month-by-month cohort retention grid plus an average retention by month-offset trend line
• Advanced filtering and segmentation — combine spend range, product, location, date and more to build saved segments for both customers and orders

A free woocommerce LTV plugin, woocommerce RFM tool, and woocommerce cohort retention report rolled into the same dashboard you already use for sales.

Live Visitors & Real-Time Conversion Tracking

BrikPanel ships a built-in WooCommerce live visitors widget — see who is on your store right now, what page they are on, and whether they have items in the cart. Refreshes every 30 seconds. No external service, no Hotjar, no monthly fee.

• WooCommerce real time visitors widget with cart status (Browsing / Has items in cart / On thank-you page), current page, and customer info
• WooCommerce conversion tracking in the same database that powers the dashboard
• IP addresses SHA-256 hashed for privacy
• Most-viewed pages and most added-to-cart products reports

A free woocommerce statistics plugin and woocommerce sales tracker without any external SaaS.

Geographic Analytics — WooCommerce Sales by Country

A 3D rotating globe (Cobe.js) plots every order on its real location — see WooCommerce sales by country and city without exporting a CSV, with Top 10 Countries and Top 10 Cities tables. Works with both HPOS and legacy order storage.

Lightning-Fast Order Search — Cmd/Ctrl + K from Anywhere

Hit Ctrl + K (or Cmd + K on Mac) anywhere in wp-admin and a beautiful order search overlay opens — the free woocommerce order search plugin every store owner has been asking for. Searches across order ID, customer first/last name, email, phone, and product SKU inside order line items at once. True woocommerce quick search with results as you type, color-coded status badges, totals, and dates.

Modern WooCommerce Order Management

BrikPanel replaces the cluttered default orders page with a clean woocommerce order list plugin screen.

• 30-day overview bar: total orders, completed, refunded, cancelled, revenue
• Inline status change without opening the edit page
• HPOS (wc_get_orders) and legacy storage (WP_Query) both supported
• Two new statuses: Return Draft and Change
• Reskinned order edit page with copy-to-clipboard for billing/shipping
• Sold downloadable products column on the order edit page
• Optional BrikMarket marketplace stats integration

A real woocommerce order management plugin, not a reskin. Disable from settings anytime.

WooCommerce Product List Plugin — Built for People Who Actually Edit Products

The default WooCommerce product list is fine for browsing, painful for editing. BrikPanel ships a complete woocommerce product list plugin that fixes it.

• Thumbnail, name, SKU, regular/sale price, stock badge, category
• Publish status toggle — flip draft ↔ published with one click, no reload
• Edit, Duplicate, Delete actions; bulk publish, draft, delete
• Status tabs (All / Published / Draft / Trash), live search by name or SKU
• Configurable per-page (5–100, default 20), AJAX pagination
• Per-user toggles for any third-party / SEO column added by Yoast, Rank Math, ASE and other plugins
• Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) custom columns are respected in the BrikPanel product, order and customer lists

Quick Edit Sidebar — Edit Without Leaving the List

A slide-in panel from any product row to edit name, SKU, regular/sale price, stock, and category — save without leaving the list. The woocommerce quick edit experience WooCommerce should have shipped years ago. Update woocommerce quick edit price, stock, or category in two clicks.

Bulk Edit WooCommerce Products with the Variation Editor — Full Variation Support

This is where BrikPanel pulls ahead of every other free woocommerce bulk editor. Most free plugins only handle simple products and only let you “increase price by X%”. BrikPanel does much more — and does it for variable products too.

• WooCommerce bulk price update (regular and sale) — percentage, fixed amount, or absolute value, across the whole catalog or filtered by category
• Bulk update WooCommerce products stock quantities (in/out of stock, set quantity, add/subtract)
• WooCommerce bulk price by category — pick a category, set a rule, every product updates
• WooCommerce bulk sale price updates with a date range
• Confirmation dialog on every bulk action

Now the part nobody else does for free: variation support.

• WooCommerce variation editor — open any variable product and edit every variation in one modal (regular price, sale price, stock, SKU)
• Bulk edit variation prices WooCommerce — set the same price for all variations of an attribute (every “Red” variation, every “L” size), or apply a percentage rule
• Bulk update variation stock — set or adjust the stock of every variation in one click
• Attribute filter to narrow visible variations when a product has 50+ combinations

How to bulk edit WooCommerce products including variations without buying a $79/year plugin? BrikPanel handles both simple and variable products for free.

Simplified WooCommerce Product Editor

The default WooCommerce add-product screen has 11 metaboxes, 3 tabs, and 40+ fields. New owners give up before finishing their first product. BrikPanel ships a complete woocommerce product editor plugin with the noise removed.

• Featured image + product gallery with drag-and-drop upload, unlimited images, drag-to-reorder
• Regular price, sale price with decimal validation
• Searchable category picker with multi-select + quick create category without leaving the page
• Brand field — the WooCommerce product_brand taxonomy is now first-class alongside categories and tags
• Short description + full rich-text description (wp_editor)
• SEO fields — custom slug, meta title, meta description, live Google SERP preview
• Full SEO plugin compatibility — Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO and SEOPress metaboxes (including the SEO score panel) render and save inside the BrikPanel product editor
• Product type (Simple, Variable), attribute management with inline create
• Auto-generate variations from attribute combinations, per-variation price/sale/SKU/stock
• Duplicate any product in one click

Opt-in. Keep the default WooCommerce product page if you prefer.

WooCommerce Variation Gallery

Attach a separate image gallery to each product variation — the frontend swaps gallery automatically when a customer picks a variation. Image metadata (srcset, sizes, alt text) is fully preserved.

WooCommerce Categories Page — Drag-and-Drop Parent/Child Management

The default WooCommerce category screen has not been redesigned in a decade. BrikPanel rebuilds it with per-page settings (5–200), drag-and-drop parent/child nesting with circular reference prevention, for both product_cat and product_tag.

Best WooCommerce Coupon Plugin — Free Coupon Manager

A complete WooCommerce coupon manager that makes coupons a first-class part of the admin — we honestly think this is the best WooCommerce coupon plugin in the free repository.

• Coupon table with code copy-to-clipboard, discount type icon, amount, usage count, expiry highlighting, and status
• Status tabs, AJAX pagination, slide-over coupon panel — create/edit without a reload
• Auto-generate random coupon codes; one-click duplicate
• Discount types: percentage, fixed cart, fixed product + free shipping toggle
• Expiry date picker, total + per-customer usage limits, min/max spend, individual use toggle, product/category include/exclude rules

Custom WordPress Login Page — Custom WP Login Page for WooCommerce

BrikPanel ships a custom WP login page that fully replaces the default wp-login.php look — a real WordPress login customizer built for WooCommerce stores.

• Centered card layout with your site name as logo
• Minimal, distraction-free fields, AJAX submission (no reload)
• Toast notification on errors, footer site branding
• Default WordPress login styles fully hidden

WooCommerce Inventory Management

BrikPanel includes a complete woocommerce inventory management workspace. The product list, bulk editor, variation editor, and quick edit sidebar work together as one inventory workflow.

• Current stock for every product and variation in one place, with stock badges in the product list (in stock / low stock / out of stock)
• Update stock inline from the quick edit sidebar, or bulk update across categories and variations
• HPOS-enabled stores supported

A free woocommerce inventory management plugin that covers the daily workflow without installing another heavy stock control plugin.

Custom Top Admin Bar & Notifications

A Custom BrikPanel-styled top admin bar replaces the default WordPress toolbar across the entire admin with a larger, e-commerce-focused notification bell and quick links — toggleable from settings. Notification sound, confetti animation and a top-right popup the moment a new completed order arrives, with no external services.

Google Sheets Sync — Real-Time WooCommerce Google Sheets Integration

BrikPanel ships a free WooCommerce Google Sheets sync — a fully native WooCommerce to Google Sheets integration that streams orders, customers and analytics into a Google Sheet you control. The free GSheetConnector alternative with no Zapier, no Make, no monthly fee.

• Real-time order sync — every new WooCommerce order is appended within seconds, one row per line item so variations get their own columns. Free woocommerce order sync to google sheets with no external automation tool
• Scheduled WooCommerce Google Sheets export — hourly, every 4h or daily catch-up; idempotent so re-runs never duplicate rows
• Analytics report snapshots — Sales Summary, Daily KPIs, Top Products and Funnel tabs refreshed on an interval for pivots and dashboards in Sheets
• Customer + RFM snapshot — chained to the nightly RFM recompute

HPOS-compatible. A real google sheets woocommerce sync for stores that want orders, customers and analytics in Sheets without paying a monthly fee.

WooCommerce ROAS, Net Profit & Ad Spend — Google Ads + Meta Ads

BrikPanel pulls daily spend from Google Ads and Meta Ads (Facebook / Instagram) so you see real WooCommerce ROAS, Net Profit and ad spend next to revenue. Multi-currency aware. A free Triple Whale alternative and woocommerce profit tracking dashboard with no monthly fee.

BrikMarket Marketplace Analytics

When BrikMarket is active, marketplace orders are excluded from the storefront conversion rate and a dedicated dashboard block breaks down orders, share and top categories per marketplace.

Subscription & Membership Plugin Compatibility

Compatible with major subscription and membership plugins (WooCommerce Subscriptions, MemberPress, Paid Memberships Pro and more) — subscription products and member orders show up in the same product list, order screens and customer analytics.

Developer Hooks & Filters

A developer hooks and filters system for agencies — actions and filters like brikpanel_after_product_save, plus a built-in docs popup in settings with one-click copy buttons.

Navigation & Admin UI Cleanup

• BrikPanel dashboard becomes the first WordPress admin menu item; admin bar gains quick links, footer rebranded
• Optional simplified mode hides the full WordPress menu, showing only BrikPanel + WooCommerce for non-technical clients

A Free, Self-Hosted WooCommerce Analytics & Inventory Suite

Store owners pay monthly SaaS fees for parts of what BrikPanel does free:

• Self-hosted WooCommerce analytics — sales, AOV, conversion, funnels, geo data, customer LTV, RFM, cohort retention, no third-party
• A simpler inventory workspace for stores that only need stock-level visibility and bulk updates
• A free Metorik and Triple Whale alternative — analytics, ROAS and profit on your own server
• Shopify alternative for WooCommerce — the clean admin experience of Shopify with your storefront, customer data and orders on your own server

Your data stays on your server — no external account, no monthly fee.

Why BrikPanel and not the default WooCommerce admin?

WooCommerce’s built-in analytics are slow, refresh hourly, and have no live visitor tracking, conversion funnel, geographic data, customer LTV / RFM / cohort reports, Cmd+K order search, quick edit sidebar, variation bulk editor, custom login or coupon manager. BrikPanel fixes every one of those gaps inside a single free WooCommerce admin plugin — built across 1000+ WooCommerce stores.

WooCommerce HPOS Compatibility & Performance

• Zero impact on storefront speed — only loads inside wp-admin
• Hardened performance for low-resource hosting — heavy queries are batched, cached and run through Action Scheduler so the dashboard, customer analytics and bulk editor stay responsive on shared hosting
• HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) fully supported with dual code paths
• WooCommerce 7.x, 8.x, and newer; works alongside Admin Menu Editor, Slider Revolution, Yoast SEO, RankMath, WPML, Polylang
• Translation-ready (.pot file included), with all JavaScript / jQuery strings routed through wp_localize_script
• All AJAX actions verify nonces and manage_woocommerce capability; DB writes use prepared statements; IPs SHA-256 hashed; admin activity excluded from analytics

3.0.5 (2026-05-19)

• New: GTIN column on the products list — the BrikPanel product list can now show a GTIN column reading WooCommerce’s native _global_unique_id field (WC_Product::get_global_unique_id()). Off by default; flip it on per-user from the Columns popover (persisted in user meta, like every other column). Variable products show the parent GTIN, or the aggregated variation GTINs when the parent has none — so it works for both simple and variable products
• New: Search products by SKU — the product list live-search box now matches on SKU as well as title. A posts_search filter rewrites the query so a search term hits a product’s own _sku and surfaces a parent product whenever one of its variation SKUs matches, with $wpdb->esc_like() escaping throughout. Resolves the user report that SKU search did not work on the product list
• New: Yoast SEO for WooCommerce compatibility — the WooCommerce-specific Yoast addon (detected via WPSEO_WOO_VERSION) ran its identifier/GTIN analysis against #product-type and #_sku DOM nodes that the simplified BrikPanel editor never rendered, so it errored out. The editor now emits hidden shim nodes mirroring the real product type and SKU and keeps the hidden #product-type in sync when the BrikPanel type selector changes, so the Yoast Woo SEO analysis and score panel run correctly inside the BrikPanel product editor for both simple and variable products
• New: Dashboard export button — a new export button next to the dashboard date-range presets downloads the full dashboard as a multi-sheet Excel workbook (Summary, conversion funnel, order status, devices, customer segments, top products, most-viewed, most added-to-cart, sales-over-time, countries, cities, low stock, subscriptions and full order records) for the active date range. Built from the exact payload the dashboard renders so the file can never drift from the screen; streamed via admin-post.php (brikpanel_dashboard_export, nonce-checked, manage_woocommerce-gated) with real numeric cells so the spreadsheet can sum and sort
• New: Shipping class in the product editor — WooCommerce’s product_shipping_class taxonomy is now selectable in the simplified product editor as an opt-in Shipping class section (enable it from WooCommerce → Settings → BrikPanel via the editor section list; hidden by default). Simple products get one selector; variable products additionally get a per-variation shipping class column with a “Same as parent” inherit option, so every variation can override individually. Closes the migration gap reported by users who relied on WooCommerce shipping classes
• Fix: Bullet points now render in the product editor and on the storefront — bulleted and numbered lists created in the editor were being wrapped in an invalid <p> > <ul> structure so they did not display as a list. After an insert-list command the editor now unwraps the list from its surrounding paragraph, and explicit list-style / display:list-item CSS for nested ul/ol/li (disc → circle → square) makes lists render correctly in both the editor and the front-end product description
• Improvement: Richer product description editor — the description and short-description editors gained a block-format dropdown (Paragraph, Heading 2, Heading 3, Heading 4) that reflects and applies the current selection’s block, plus heading CSS so the formatting is visible while editing. Combined with the existing visual ⇄ HTML source toggle, content pasted from a website (which keeps its markup) can now be retagged with proper headings from the toolbar instead of only being fixable in the code editor

3.0.4 (2026-05-18)

• New: Access control — a new WooCommerce → Settings → BrikPanel → “Access control” section lets you keep the BrikPanel interface for some users while leaving others on the stock WordPress / WooCommerce admin. Disable for administrators with one toggle (the common agency setup: clients who are shop managers get BrikPanel, the agency’s own administrator account stays vanilla), and/or for any roles or hand-picked individual users. Disabled users get the native admin menu, dashboard, product/order/coupon screens and zero BrikPanel styling; everyone else is unaffected. Enforced in two layers — every interface toggle is short-circuited to “off” so each module renders the native screen, and all always-on BrikPanel assets, the extra order-list columns and the font/accent/brand-logo theming are swept — so the result is pixel-for-pixel the default experience. BrikPanel analytics, tracking and background jobs keep running for the store regardless. The BrikPanel settings tab is always reachable (with the real toggle states) even for an excluded administrator, so you can never lock yourself out

3.0.2 (2026-05-16)

• Security: Signed proxy responses — every reply from the brksoft.com proxy (Google Ads, Meta Ads and Google Sheets OAuth) is now HMAC-SHA256 signed with a freshness timestamp. The plugin verifies the signature on every successful response and refuses to act on any unsigned, tampered, replayed or stale body instead of trusting it — closing cache-poisoning / transport-tampering / log-only attack paths
• Security: Remote kill-switch — a signed revoke directive lets the proxy operator make all installs immediately wipe their stored Google / Meta / Sheets tokens and stop calling the proxy until the user reconnects, so a suspected proxy compromise can be contained without a plugin update
• Security: Google Ads query allow-list on the proxy — only the exact daily-spend query is accepted; any attempt to pull search terms, PII or other resources through a connected account is rejected
• Security: Hostile raw_data handling — ad-spend API payloads are depth-, size- and charset-capped before they are stored, so a malicious response cannot bloat the table or smuggle content to later consumers
• Security: Proxy global off-switch, no-store / noindex response headers, and operational hardening notes for the brksoft.com proxy
• Tweak: Version bump to 3.0.2; no functional changes to the dashboard, sync or UI

3.0.0 (2026-05-15)

• New: Google Ads & Meta Ads integration — BrikPanel now pulls daily ad spend from Google Ads and Meta (Facebook / Instagram) Ads into a local table so the dashboard can show real ROAS and Net Profit next to store revenue. Three new KPI cards render under the existing dashboard metrics: Ad Spend (summed across every connected platform for the active date range), ROAS (store revenue ÷ ad spend), and Net Profit (revenue − COGS − ad spend − manual expenses). The cards are multi-currency aware — when an ad account reports in a different currency than the store, spend is shown split as “₺X + $Y” and ROAS / Net Profit are intentionally omitted (UI shows “—”) instead of printing a misleading converted number. COGS is read from WooCommerce’s native order COGS meta through a dedicated HPOS-compatible query; manual expenses come from the existing BrikPanel expenses table. The cards only appear once the first sync has written real data
• New: One-click OAuth connect per platform through the same brksoft.com proxy pattern as Google Sheets — PKCE-protected handoff, and the Google developer token / Meta app secret / OAuth client secret never ship inside the plugin (the proxy injects them server-side). Tokens are kept in a single encrypted multi-platform vault (sodium_crypto_secretbox, AES-256-GCM fallback, key HKDF-derived from the site’s WP salts) with platform-aware refresh: Google uses the standard refresh_token grant, Meta uses the fb_exchange_token long-lived-token swap. A revoked / invalid_grant connection auto-clears so the UI shows a clean “reconnect” state instead of looping on errors
• New: Per-platform primary account picker — Google enumerates accounts via listAccessibleCustomers with manager-account (MCC) login-customer-id support; Meta lists /me/adaccounts including accounts under a Business Manager. On first account selection BrikPanel backfills 3 years of history, split into 90-day Action Scheduler chunks scheduled most-recent-first so today’s spend appears on the dashboard within minutes while the full history fills in behind it. A daily sync re-pulls the trailing 7 days to absorb the late revisions ad platforms apply to recent-day numbers; every write is an idempotent UPSERT so re-syncing or overlapping windows never duplicate a day
• New: Dedicated Ad Platforms page under the WooCommerce menu (Beta badge), a “Connect ad accounts” call-to-action on the dashboard, a per-platform manual Sync now button, backfill progress, and a token-redacted error log viewer. A master toggle under WooCommerce → Settings → BrikPanel → Ad Platforms (default on) makes the whole module dormant when off — no admin page, no scheduled sync, no dashboard cards — while saved connections are kept. Google Ads stays locked behind a switch until its Google-approved developer token is live so users never hit a dead “Connect” button; Meta is unaffected. A new wp_brikpanel_ad_spend table is created on activation alongside the other BrikPanel tables, and the raw API payload is retained per row for the planned BrikMentor analysis
• Developer: New proxy-tunnelled Google Ads API and Meta Marketing API clients (Brikpanel_Ads_Google_Client, Brikpanel_Ads_Meta_Client) built on wp_remote_* with one-shot 401 refresh-and-retry, infrastructure-only backoff (HTTP 429 / 502 / 503 / 504 plus Meta rate-limit codes 4 / 17 / 32 / 613) and no retry on application-level 500s so a misconfigured proxy fails fast instead of hanging the settings UI — no Composer dependency added, reusing the foundation laid by the 2.9.0 Sheets client

2.9.5 (2026-05-13)

• New: Multisite network access rules — when BrikPanel is network-activated, every subsite admin used to inherit full visibility of the WooCommerce → BrikPanel settings tab; a new “BrikPanel Access” page under Network Admin → Settings now lets the Super Admin enforce a role allowlist (brikpanel_network_access site-option). When enforcement is on, only users whose role is in the allowlist see the settings tab, the BrikPanel sidebar menus, and can hit any brikpanel_* AJAX endpoint — gated centrally through brikpanel_user_can_access() so a single check applies across surfaces and the administrator role can never be removed from the allowlist (defense-in-depth)
• New: Delete individual variations from inside the BrikPanel product editor — every row in the variation table now has a per-row trash button with an in-place confirmation, and the deletion is finalized when the parent product is saved. Combined with the existing Generate variations button this closes the last gap users hit when migrating away from the default WooCommerce variations tab. Works on both brand-new variable products and existing ones with attribute combinations already generated
• New: Unsaved-changes guard on the product editor — clicking the top-left “Back to Products” arrow (or closing the tab / reloading) while any field is dirty now triggers the browser’s native beforeunload confirmation instead of silently discarding edits. Dirty state is tracked on every input / textarea / select / contenteditable inside the editor body
• New: Quick-edit drawer featured product star — the slide-in quick edit panel from the products list now exposes the same featured-product star that lives in the row and the full product editor, so a product can be flipped in/out of WooCommerce’s featured pool without opening either screen. Backed by the same brikpanel_toggle_featured AJAX endpoint as the row icon; row + drawer star sync via a shared applyQeFeaturedState() so toggling either surface updates the other instantly. Works for both simple and variable products
• New: Optional advanced coupon restriction fields — the slide-over coupon editor stays minimal by default, but six WC-native restriction fields can now be enabled individually under WooCommerce → Settings → BrikPanel → Coupons: Products, Exclude products, Product categories, Exclude categories, Allowed billing emails and Limit usage to X items. Each toggle is checked both on the editor render side AND inside the AJAX save handler so a hostile payload cannot write to a field that an admin has not enabled. Closes the migration gap reported by users moving from heavy WC coupon workflows
• New: Drag-free dashboard section ordering — the existing “Visible dashboard sections” multiselect is now an ordered list with per-row visibility checkbox and up/down arrow buttons (same pattern as the product editor section ordering), so dashboard cards can be both hidden and reordered without touching the drag-and-drop API. Order persists as brikpanel_dashboard_section_order JSON, and the dashboard renderer resolves the final order through a brikpanel_dashboard_section_order filter so developers can override programmatically
• New: “Copy everything” help tooltip — the previously-cryptic dashboard “Copy everything” button now ships with a question-mark icon next to it whose hover/focus tooltip explains exactly what it does: bundles every dashboard metric (KPIs, top products, recent orders, customers, settings) into a single Markdown report and copies it to the clipboard, ready to paste into ChatGPT / Claude for instant store analysis. CSS-only popover, repositions right-aligned on screens under 900px
• New: Google Sheets integration ships with a “Beta” badge on its menu item and page header, and can now be fully disabled from WooCommerce → Settings → BrikPanel → “Google Sheets integration” with a single checkbox (brikpanel_gs_module_enabled, default on). When disabled, no admin page, no sync classes, no OAuth handlers and no woocommerce_new_order listener are registered — zero overhead on stores that do not use the connector
• Fix: Third-party brand / taxonomy columns in the products list now render as comma-separated, locale-aware brand labels instead of dumping the raw array (Array or ["Brand1","Brand2"]). The ASE bridge routes any column whose source is a taxonomy through get_the_terms() + sanitize_term_field() + wp_get_list_item_separator() before output, with per-term escaping — fixes brand columns added by WooCommerce Brands, Perfect WooCommerce Brands, YITH Brands and any plugin that registers a taxonomy column on the products list
• Fix: Variable products created through the BrikPanel editor sometimes lost their variation selector on the storefront (notably reported on stores running the Blocksy Pro theme). Root cause: an in-flight save_post hook reloaded the parent product through WC’s poisoned factory cache and silently flipped the product_type term back to “simple”. save_variations() now reasserts the variable term with wp_set_object_terms(), clears WC’s per-product _type_ cache via WC_Cache_Helper::get_cache_prefix(), calls clean_post_cache(), and finally calls WC_Product_Variable::sync() on a freshly-instantiated parent so the frontend always recognizes the product as variable

2.9.1 (2026-05-12)

• Critical fix: Google Sheets sync handlers were registered only inside the is_admin() gate, so Action Scheduler workers (WP-Cron / CLI) and the front-end woocommerce_new_order hook never saw them — real-time sync silently dropped new orders and bulk export failed with “no callbacks registered”. Bootstrap now loads outside the admin gate (same pattern as BrikControl); admin menu / AJAX endpoints still self-gate to admin context
• Critical fix: “Sync now” was queueing an Action Scheduler job and returning immediately, leaving the user with no progress, no row count, and no completion signal. Now runs inline with a spinner, sticky “Syncing…” toast, and a final success toast reporting actual rows + duration. Bulk export still paginates in the background via Action Scheduler when more rows remain
• New: “Reset & re-push everything” button on the Orders tab — clears the _brikpanel_gs_synced_at flag from every order so the next Sync re-pushes the full history to the currently configured tab. Useful when renaming the target tab so the old history appears in the new tab
• New: switching the target spreadsheet now automatically resets sync state — every order is re-pushed to the new sheet on the next sync (was: silently kept the old “synced” flags so new sheet stayed empty)
• Improvement: Sync now feedback is data-driven — when nothing new was synced, the toast explains “every order is already marked synced” and points to the Reset button instead of returning silent zero
• Improvement: Reports / Customers / Orders sync handlers return structured stats (rows, orders, more) so manual sync can report exact numbers and the JS UI can refresh the “Last successful sync” stamp inline without a page reload
• Improvement: ensure_tab now detects pre-seeded empty tabs (created via the “Create new spreadsheet” flow) and writes their header on first sync instead of leaving them headerless. Existing tabs with non-empty headers are never overwritten
• Improvement: Reports analytics helpers (brikpanel_get_total_revenue, brikpanel_get_visitor_count, etc.) are now explicitly loaded by the reports-sync handler, so Sales Summary / Daily KPIs / Top Products / Funnel tabs work when running inside Action Scheduler workers (previously silently emitted zero rows)
• Improvement: Token refresh stays robust when expires_at has already lapsed — the lazy refresh path runs synchronously through the brksoft.com proxy and surfaces auth errors clearly

2.9.0 (2026-05-12)

• New: Google Sheets integration — a fully native, one-click connector that streams BrikPanel data into a Google Sheet of your choice. Four flows ship in V1: (1) Real-time order sync — every new WooCommerce order is appended to a dedicated tab within seconds, with one row per line item so variations get their own row and attribute columns; status changes update the existing row in place via stored row indices kept in order meta. (2) Scheduled bulk export — Action Scheduler-backed hourly/4h/daily job that catches up historical orders matching a configurable date range and status set; same idempotency guarantee, so manually re-running “Sync now” never duplicates rows. (3) Analytics report snapshots — four overwrite-mode tabs (Sales Summary, Daily KPIs, Top Products, Funnel) are refreshed on an interval, exposing total-sales, conversion, AOV, refund/conversion rates and the visitor → checkout funnel directly in Sheets for formulas and pivots. (4) Customer + RFM snapshot — chained to the nightly RFM recompute so the segments tab refreshes the moment the metrics table does. Authentication uses an OAuth proxy that BrikPanel hosts on brksoft.com (PKCE-protected handoff token, never sends the auth code through the browser URL); the plugin stores only encrypted access/refresh tokens locally (sodium_crypto_secretbox keyed off AUTH_KEY + SECURE_AUTH_KEY) and requests minimum scopes — spreadsheets + drive.file (NOT full Drive). HPOS-compatible queries throughout, custom error log with bearer/token redaction, exponential backoff on 429/5xx, and full re-pin into the modern sidebar. Top-level menu page (Google Sheets) under WooCommerce → BrikPanel
• Developer: New WP-CLI-compatible Sheets API client (Brikpanel_Sheets_Client) using wp_remote_* with built-in 401-refresh, 429 exponential backoff, and 403 rateLimitExceeded handling — no Composer dependency added. Reusable foundation for the planned Google Ads integration in 3.0
